[http://www.simcorp.com/SimCorp][http://www.simcorpdimension.com/Dimension](commonly known as Dimension, SCD or PBR) is the Schroders portfolio accounting system, implemented during 2008 as part of the [[Book of Record]] programme. Dimension is used to store all account and portfolio positions and disseminate this information to other systems withing Schroders/ Dimension is part of the trade accounting process. It also provides large amounts of data for the start of day process. It also provides large amounts of data for the start of day process. Within its trade accounting role Dimension collates and stores all information about trades carried out. Dimension stores information on both the unconfirmed (soft) and confirmed (hard) trades, this allows the system to present a view of a portfolio as it is at the custodian and how it looks with recent trades which are wiating for confirmation. As part of the start of day process Dimension receives market data (such as prices from several systems, primarily [[Cadis]]. This information is used by Dimension to revalue all securitues held in portfolios. Once these calculations have been performed the data is set downstream to provide an up to date view of portfilios. The most important downstream systems are [[Charles River]] and [[IDL]], which require the updated positions to allow fund managers to build accurate models and make investment decisions. In Dimension a portfolio is referred to as a 'Model Portfolio' and a portfolio group/fund/account is referred to as a 'Portfolio'.
